Today's schedule

Morning: fold more of the chinese brush sheets I painted last Monday

Noon: quick lunch and return to more folding...

Afternoon: coffee break followed by more pleating, folding, etc.

Evening: if my hands are still functioning... an extended session of more pleating...

Night: sleeping and dreaming of folding and pleating, pleating and folding paper!

thoughts and emotions..

... reflecting onto paper

The natural disaster and its aftermath in Japan has been constantly in my mind.
My emotions in the company of deeply rooted traditions and customs from my homeland have been influencing my thoughts and are creeping more and more into my work without consciously recognizing it until later...
